Browsing our installation packages can feel like comparing spec sheets rather than making a decision — Package 2, Package 15, the 3kW Package, the Ultimate Package, each with a different combination of inverter size, panel count and battery capacity. This guide translates that list into plain language: what each tier actually gives you, and which one matches a household or business like yours.
Not sure which package fits, even after reading this? Call or WhatsApp us on +254 741 163020 and tell us what you’re trying to power — we’ll point you to the right one, or design a custom system if none of the standard packages quite fit.
How the Packages Actually Differ
Every package varies across four things: inverter capacity (how much total power the system can deliver at once — 2.5kW, 3kW, 5kW, and upward), panel array size (total wattage of panels included, which determines how much energy you generate per day), battery capacity and chemistry (how much energy is stored for use at night or during outages, and whether it’s lithium or lead-acid/gel), and included extras (protection sundries, changeover switches, mounting hardware, and installation itself). Two packages with similar inverter sizes can still suit very different households depending on battery capacity and chemistry — which is exactly where most of the real decision-making happens.
Starter Package: The Entry Point
Our Solar Starter Package is built for homeowners or small business owners wanting an affordable, genuine introduction to solar — reduced electricity bills and reliable backup power without a large upfront commitment. This is the right starting point if your primary need is basic lighting, phone charging, and essential small electronics, rather than running a fridge or larger appliances around the clock. It’s also a sensible option if you’re planning to expand capacity later and want to start with a smaller, genuine system rather than an underpowered generic kit.
Package 2: Small Household Essentials
Package 2 (KSh 299,800, VAT inclusive) pairs a 2.5kW Growatt/Felicity inverter with four 325W panels and two 200Ah/12V batteries (Amaron or Felicity option). This suits a small household running lights, a fridge, TV and WiFi through the evening and overnight, with battery capacity sized for genuine overnight backup rather than just a few hours. This tier uses lead-acid/gel battery technology, which is why it sits at a more accessible price point than our lithium-based packages of similar inverter size.
3kW Package: Small-Medium Homes, Lithium Storage
The 3kW Solar Power Installation Package steps up to a 3kW hybrid inverter with built-in MPPT charge controller, four 555W high-efficiency panels, and — the key difference from Package 2 — a 5.2kWh lithium-ion battery bank rather than lead-acid. This comfortably covers lighting, fridge, TV, WiFi router, computers and basic security systems for homes, small offices, shops and rural properties. If you’re deciding between a lead-acid package like Package 2 and this lithium option at a similar inverter size, the lithium battery’s longer lifespan and deeper usable discharge is usually worth the price difference for households planning to use the system daily for years.
Mid-Range Packages (3 through 14): Scaling Between Small and Large
Between the entry packages and our largest configurations, the numbered packages scale up progressively in inverter size, panel count and battery capacity to match growing household or business needs — larger families, homes running additional appliances (washing machines, larger freezers, more extensive lighting), or small commercial premises. Because the exact specification of each numbered package in this range depends on current component availability and pricing, the fastest way to find your specific match is telling us your household size and appliance list directly — we’ll point you to the exact package number that fits, or confirm whether a custom-sized system makes more sense.
10kW Package: Large Homes and Small Commercial
The 10kW Solar Power Installation Package includes eight high-efficiency modules (rated 550–585W each, 10-year warranty), full AC and DC protection sundries, an automatic changeover switch, and aluminium roof mounting built for long-term durability. This tier suits larger homes running substantial daily loads, or small commercial premises — offices, retail spaces, small guesthouses — needing meaningfully more capacity than a standard residential package provides.
Package 15: Our Largest Standard Configuration
Package 15 (KSh 2,010,120, VAT inclusive) is our most substantial pre-configured package — two 5kW Growatt/Felicity inverters (10kW combined), twenty-four 325W panels, and twenty-four 200Ah batteries, plus a full aluminium racking system for both solar and battery installation. This suits large homes, larger commercial premises, or off-grid properties needing genuinely substantial, sustained power capacity — the kind of system where a smaller package simply wouldn’t provide enough daily generation or storage.
Home Package: Flexible Residential Solution
Our Home Solar Power Installation Package is designed specifically around residential energy needs, combining quality components with professional installation and smart energy management, and drawing from our full brand range (DEYE, Huawei, Felicity, Jinko and others) depending on your specific requirements. This is a good starting conversation point if you know you want a residential system but aren’t sure yet whether a smaller or larger configuration suits your household — it’s more of a flexible category than a single fixed specification.
Ultimate Package: Premium, Maximum Capacity
The Ultimate Solar Power Installation Package is our premium, all-in-one solution, designed for luxury homes, large households, businesses, and off-grid living requiring genuinely uninterrupted 24/7 power across all electrical needs. If your priority is maximum reliability and capacity with no compromises — a large household with heavy simultaneous appliance use, a business that genuinely cannot tolerate any downtime, or a fully off-grid property — this is the tier built for that requirement.

| Not sure, want a flexible residential starting conversation | Home Package |
Why a Package Might Not Be Right for You — And That’s Fine
Pre-configured packages exist to make buying simpler, but they’re not the right fit for every property. If your household or business has an unusual load profile — a farm needing irrigation and cold storage together, a health facility with critical-care requirements, or a commercial site with three-phase power — a custom-designed system sized specifically around your actual equipment, built through a proper site assessment, will genuinely serve you better than forcing your needs into the nearest standard package.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I upgrade from a smaller package to a larger one later? In many cases yes, particularly for the inverter and panel array, though this is worth discussing at the time of your original purchase so the initial installation supports easy expansion.
What’s the real difference between similarly priced lead-acid and lithium packages? Lithium batteries offer a longer lifespan, deeper usable discharge, and lower long-term replacement frequency, generally justifying a higher upfront cost for households planning years of regular daily use.
Do all packages include installation and commissioning? Yes — every package price includes full supply, professional installation, testing and commissioning, not just the equipment itself.
What if none of the packages match my exact needs? Tell us your specific situation — we’ll either point you to the closest package with adjustments, or design a fully custom system if your needs genuinely fall outside the standard range.
